I have been arguing since 2020 ( That is before majority of 5G being deployed ) that we need 6G not as another 10 - 1000x bandwidth / capacity improvement. We have enough within 5G roadmap already. 6G should make it cheaper for both devices and carrier, more efficient and simplified because current 5G is overly complex.
For those criticising 5G, most mobile network has yet to move to Stand Alone network with NR yet. And after that they will have to refarm all the 4G spectrum to 5G. They could also replace equipment that were 4G / 5G to 5G+ / 5G-A, allowing cheaper Massive MIMO hence much higher capacity. Doing all that while continue to tune the network both front and backend. Despite 5 years into 5G we are still behind in many aspect. Most likely due to COVID.
But it seems some network has NO interest to further improve on current tech. I assume they would do minimum investing once they force everyone to 5G.
